Mains Inlet, (IEC Socket) & Mains Fuse
Please only use the correct mains cord for your territory! Ensure the V40D is switched to
the OFF position using the front toggle switch before plugging the mains lead in this
socket.
The mains fuse is located in a small tray under the inlet which can be removed using a
small flat blade screwdriver. Please note where this fuse is located in the tray before
replacing it with the correct type and value for your territory.
Voltage selector
Selects the correct mains voltage for your territory. Please refer to a qualified technician
before even thinking about moving this switch. If you do find yourself in foreign climes
where the mains voltage is different to home, (and the water tastes funny), it will be
necessary to switch this selector. The mains fuse must always be changed at the same
time. Failure to do this will result in either the mains fuse blowing as soon as the amp is
turned on or the amp running with a fuse that is of too higher value to provide adequate
safety protection. Generally, the fuse value will double if the mains voltage is halved, (i.e.
if it’s a 1A fuse in the UK @ 230V, it will needs to be a 2A fuse for the USA @ 115V).
Always use the correct rating and type of fuse. Victory amplifiers exclusively use UL-
approved 20x5mm glass ‘T’ or ‘Timed’ fuses. If you have difficulty acquiring the correct
fuses, please contact Victory using

Output Power
The following measurements were taken at 240V mains input into an 8 Ohm load using a
1 KHz Sine Wave with the output waveforms set just before clipping:
High Power: 40 Watts
Low Power: 7 Watts
Valves: 4 x ECC83, (12AX7), 2 x 6L6
Notes on output volume and speaker attenuation:
Victory amplifiers are designed to be played loud with gigging and rehearsal in mind. It
can be difficult to get suitable volumes and tones from the V40D at home or ‘bedroom’
levels even in the lower power settings. The nature of valve amps and the POTs used to
control the signal is such that they only really start to work when turned up. However,
